Last Night

Dec 16, 2003 10:07

bellanna, ealbhar and I had a great time last night at The Wrestlers. We were celebrating Sandi's retirement from HM's Inspectorate of Taxes :-)

While I ate the delicious (if over onioned this time) chicken fried rice as usual, I tried half a pint of Charles Wells's Winter Cheer - a 5.5% ale/beer which the brewery describes as a “smooth winter warmer with a stunning aroma reminiscent of sultana fruit and spicy hops”. I describe it as quite nice and thick, but not as nice as a Winter Warmer I tried a few years back somewhere in southern England during my university days. That was a beer so nice I was forever converted from my usual cider to bitter. I still drink cider and perry from time to time, but I now always look at the beers available first :-)

Sandi showed off her leaving gifts, including a fantastic toy mirror from Emma which announces how beautiful the reflection is, or how like a Princess. Well found, Emma!
